You may even want to just take that blog to show to a friend or relative who may not be up to scratch when it comes to dress shopping. Either way, I thought that blog was very helpful and informative. There’s even some nice things on the Goose Island website that would be worth looking into.

With YouTube being one of the most popular internet sites in the World, it’s a great idea to consider marketing your business through video. This may seem as a new technique for people with limited marketing experience, but it’s a method that’s been used by many marketing companies for a long time. Using videos to market your business allows you to explain in detail about the services you offer in a way you might not have been able to just writing about them. Using video marketing may also lead to a greater deal of trust between business and customer. If a customer can see who they would be talking too or dealing with when buying from you, then there could be a greater sense of trusting. It can also show prove to potential new customers that you a real business.

“Video marketing is a new type of internet marketing and advertising in which business create 2-5 minute short videos about specific topics using content from articles and other text sources. The videos are then uploaded to various video sharing websites like YouTube for distribution and exposure.”

Google is a very powerful search engine with over 90% of us in the UK using Google to search for goods and services. In October 2006 Google purchased Youtube for $1.6 billion because they realised how important online videos were becoming when it comes to generating even more revenue.

Therefore, as a business person yourself, it should come as no surprise that videos uploaded to Youtube (owned by Google) rank high on the Google search engine.

Here’s an example of how a testimonial left by a customer can be turned into a marketing video…

Video marketing can be very easy to run and very effective to your business. Marketing videos are good at adding quality content to your site which Google loves and that could lead to your business website being moved up the rankings in Google, making your business easier to find. Videos also look good for customers. If you have videos on your sites explaining your services, people may understand your business better and would be more inclined to buy from you and not one of your competitors.

Choosing a design for your website can be just as important as doing anything else for your business. You want the best possible website design that suits your company as possible in a bid to attract any new potential customers as possible that may have landed on your site. There are many different ways you can design your website, but for someone with little marketing experience, choosing the right website design may not be as straight forward as it sounds.

The best way to make sure you have the best website design you can, is to approach a marketing company to help you. Many marketing companies offer website design as a service.

I have attached the blog below for you to go and read…

“Your website is your online ‘shop front’ and the focal point of all of your online marketing and your focus should be driving traffic to your website and converting them into customers or at least capturing their name and email address or retargeting them so that you can continue marketing to them ongoing.”

Having a website is a must for every business but having a website that works for the business is even more important.

Your website should be strategically developed with your sales funnel in mind.

Not every visitor to your website will be ready to buy so your website should encourage visitors to leave their name and email address in exchange for free ebooks, vouchers, discounts etc, so you can continue to market to them until they are ready to buy.

When starting up a business, taking as many marketing tips as you can is really going to benefit you. I’m sure that not many of you would have thought too much about the website design but were already planning ahead with other aspects of marketing your business. Sometimes in marketing, things that may seem a small deal to you may be just as important as anything else, which is why I recommend you read the blog above. There is also other marketing information available on the Swansea Creatives website.
